PREFACE. 


In  1873  the  undersigned  commenced  the  compilation  of  'k  The  Historical 
-Register  of  Officers  of  the  United  States  Army,  September,  1789,  to  Septem 
ber,  1889,''  which  was  published  in  1890.  In  the  preparation  of  that  work 
he  found  it  necessary  to  examine  the  various  military  rolls,  lists,  orders,  and 
other  records  of  the  Revolutionary  War,  on  file  in  the  various  Executive 
Departments  of  the  Government,  in  order  to  identify  and  show  as  far  as 
possible  the  services  of  the  earlier  appointed  officers  in  that  eventful  period 
of  our  country's  history.  Finding,  however,  as  he  progressed,  that  the 

* 

mass  of  Revolutionary  Records  was  larger  than  anticipated,  and  far  more 
than  he  could  examine  and  compare  in  the  period  allotted  to  the  task,  it 
was  for  a  time  laid  aside.  The  extracts  then  made,  supplemented  by 
additional  data  from  the  original  records  and  other  authentic  sources,  are 
presented  herewith. 

In  making  the  examination,  his  aim  was  only  to  include  officers  of  the 
Continental  Army ;  for,  to  have  included  all  the  Militia,  Minute  Men, 
Rangers,  Riflemen  and  other  kindred  organizations  (whose  terms  of  service 
in  many  cases  were  but  of  short  duration,  although  most  valuable  at  very 
important  periods)  would  have  entailed  labor  far  beyond  the  capacity  of  a 
single  individual  to  accomplish  in  a  lifetime,  and  could  never  be  made  even 
approximately  complete.  However,  the  names  of  a  number  of  militia 
officers  appear  herein,  which  have  been  found  in  such  records  as  have  been 
examined,  who  are  mentioned  in  orders  or  correspondence,  were  killed  or 
wounded,  died,  &c.,  and  whose  names  are  inserted  to  establish  their  identity 
or  to  trace,  if  possible,  the  personality  of  some  whose  names  do  not  appear 
in  full.  Xor  is  the  list  of  Continental  officers  complete,  for  the  reason  that 
there  are  no  complete  rolls  or  returns  of  niany  of  the  organizations  on  file. 
It  is  believed,  however,  that  fully  nine-tenths  of  the  names  have  been 
obtained. 

Many  of  the  facts  recorded  herein  are  incomplete,  but  all  that  were 
found  are  here.  !No  doubt  many  of  the  descendants  can  supply  the  missing 
data  concerning  their  ancestors.  In  an  extensive  work  of  this  kind 


4 

doubtless  many  errors  will  be  found,  owing  to  the  absence  of  many  records 
from  which  positive  data  could  be  obtained.  Names  are  spelled  variously 
on  different  rolls ;  dates  of  appointment  and  commission  frequently  vary 
as  often  as  there  are  rolls  upon  which  the  names  appear  ;  however,  it  was 
impossible  to  avoid  mistakes. 

In  the  preparation  of  this  work  the  compiler  has  also  consulted  and 
availed  himself  of  the  free  use  of  various  authentic  works  relating  to  the 
subject,  and  thus  connected  many  of  the  missing  links  from  the  official, 
records.  It  gives  him  great  pleasure  to  acknowledge  here  his  obligations  to 
Mr.  S.  M.  Hamilton,  of  the  State  Department,  for  his  valuable  services  in 
aiding  in  the  preparation  of  this  wrork.  Having  been  engaged  for  many 
years  in  work  which  included  the  care  and  custody  of  the  official  papers 
referring  to  the  Revolutionary  period,  he  has  become  thoroughly  familiar 
with  the  subject.  He  has  permitted  me  to  avail  myself  of  his  accurate 
knowledge  writh  a  courtesy  and  willingness  to  assist,  whenever  his  exacting 
official  duties  allowed  him,  that  has  rendered  our  association  most  pleasant. 
He  is  now  preparing,  when  not  otherwise  engaged,  an  index,  which  when 
completed  will  render  it  vastly  more  practicable  to  obtain  information 
from  these  voluminous  records. 

The  largest  and  most  important  collection  of  Records  of  the  War  of  the 
Revolution  is  on  file  in  the  Department  of  State,  embracing  the  personal 
papers  of  General  Washington,  his  orders  and  letters,  rolls,  regimental 
returns,  lists  of  officers,  commissions,  casualty  lists,  &c.  In  the  Pension 
Bureau,  Department  of  the  Interior,  are  about  two  hundred  volumes  of 
muster  rolls,  miscellaneous  papers,  and  individual  papers  of  applicants  for 
lands  or  pensions.  In  the  Treasury  Department  are  many  papers  relating 
mainly  to  payments,  depreciation  pay  accounts,  transfers  of  funds,  dis 
bursements,  &c.,  and  a  few  rolls  of  some  militia  organizations. 

In  all  these  Departments  the  arrangement  of  these  Records  is  such  that 
information  on  any  required  point,  or  regarding  the  services  of  any  specific 
individual  cannot  be  readily  obtained,  if  at  all,  for  lack  of  a  proper  index, 
as  Congress  has  never  made  any  provision  or  appropriation  for  that  pur 
pose.  Many  of  these  records  are  in  tatters,  worn  to  rags  by  handling,  ink 
faded  and  otherwise  defaced ;  but  still  it  is  surprising  to  see,  after  the  lapse 
of  over  a  century,  the  general  good  condition  of  these  most  valuable  papers, 
which  have  thus  been  preserved  to  the  country.  Will  age  improve  their 
condition  ?  It  is  not  to  be  expected  ;  on  the  contrary,  it  is  only  a  question 


5 

of  a  very  few  years  when  dilapidation  will  have  reached  a  point  at  which 
these  important  papers  will  have  become  undecipherable. 

The  Act  of  Congress  approved  July  27,  1892,  provides  "That  the 
"military  records  of  the  American  Revolution  *  now  pre- 

"  served  in  the  Treasury  and  Interior  Departments  be  transferred  to  the 
"War  Department,  to  be  preserved  in  the  Record  and  Pension  Office  of 
"  that  Department,  and  that  they  shall  be  properly  indexed  and  arranged 
*'  for  use.""  The  provisions  of  this  Act  are  good  as  far  as  they  go.  The 
majority  of  the  American  people  not  only  wish  to  know  that  there  are  in 
the  various  Departments  of  the  Government  places  Avhere  these  records  are 
stored,  but  wish  to  know  their  contents  ;  the  simple  knowledge  that  they 
are  being  indexed  in  order  to  be  able  to  state  that  a  certain  individual 
served  in  a  certain  company  or  regiment  is  not  sufficient.  Why  can  they 
not  be  arranged,  published  and  distributed  throughout  the  country  on  a 
similar  plan  to  that  pursued  in  the  case  of  the  records  of  the  War  of  the 
Rebellion  ?  Or,  if  that  is  impracticable,  why  not  have  them  copied  just  as 
they  are  and  printed  for  distribution  to  the  various  libraries,  historical 
societies,  and  State  capitals  of  the  country,  in  order  that  all  interested, 
either  for  personal  use  or  for  historical  purposes,  may  read,  examine  and 
learn  lessons  of  patriotism  from  them  at  their  leisure. 

A  great  many  of  the  original  rolls,  returns,  orders,  and  much  of  the 
correspondence  is  dispersed  throughout  the  country  in  possession  of  the 
different  States,  historical  societies,  libraries  and  individuals.  All  these 
parties  would,  doubtless,  loan  such  records  to  the  Government  for  the  pur 
pose  of  being  copied,  or  furnish  authenticated  copies  thereof,  in  order  to 
complete  as  far  as  possible  the  chain  of  records  of  that  most  important  part 
of  the  history  of  our  country.  The  course  thus  indicated  would  give  us 
the  names  of  all  the  heroes  who  participated  in  that  glorious  struggle  for 
our  national  independence,  whether  they  were  officers,  or  soldiers  who 
shouldered  the  musket ;  for  all  dared,  braved  and  suffered  in  order  that  we 
might  partake  of  the  blessings  of  that  freedom  which  we  now  so  happily 
enjoy. 

Many  of  the  descendants  of  the  revolutionary  heroes  and  martyrs  are 
at  this  time  forming  themselves  into  societies  or  joining  the  order  of  the 
Cincinnati  to  perpetuate  the  glorious  deeds  of  their  sires.  And  in  this 
connection  no  more  laudable  aim  should  animate  them  than  to  strive  to 
have  these  records,  which  have  slumbered  for  over  a  century  in  the 
•catacombs  of  the  various  Departments,  resurrected  and  published,  in  order 


6 

that  our  children,  and  the  sons  and  daughters  of  generations  to  follow  us,, 
may  well  learn  the  lesson  of  our  early  history  which  culminated  in  our 
independence,  and  revere  the  ashes  of  our  departed  heroes. 

At  no  time  in  our  history  has  the  inculcating  of  patriotism  so  obtained 
among  our  people  as  at  the  present  time.  Above  our  school-houses,  that  for 
a  century  have  had  no  mark  to  distinguish  them  as  public  edifices,  now 
waves  the  flag  that  is  the  symbol  of  this  Nation.  In  many  of  our  schools 
the  Stars  and  Stripes  are  brought  every  morning  to  be  saluted  by  the 
assembled  children.  The  modest  button  of  the  Sons  and  Daughters  of  the 
Revolution  is  accounted  the  proudest  badge  that  can  be  worn,  and  rich 
and  poor  vie  for  its  privilege. 

Though  we  have  had  wars  for  conquest  and  wars  for  the  maintenance 
of  the  law  and  Constitution,  in  which  valorous  deeds  were  done  and  brave 
men  died,  the  one  great  conflict  concerning  whose  principles  every  American 
may  meet  on  common  ground  is  the  War  of  Independence.  To  perpetuate 
those  principles,  to  instil  into  the  young  mind  the  glowing  truths  for  which 
our  fathers  fought  and  sealed  with  their  lives,  should  be  the  foremost  aim 
of  every  true  American.

FIELD  OFFICERS 

OF 

REGIMENTS  OF  THE  CONTINENTAL  LINE. 


NOTE. — The  appointment  of  the  first  and  termination  of  service  of  the 
last  field  officer  of  each  regiment  or  battalion,  as  a  general  rule,  indicates 
the  term  of  service  of  each  organization.  While  many  of  the  regiments 
bore  a  numerical  designation,  they  were,  however,  generally  known  and 
designated  in  orders  and  correspondence  by  the  names  of  their  respective 
colonels  or  commanders.  The  term  battalion,  instead  of  regiment,  appears 
to  have  been  the  general  designation. 

The  dates  here  given  are  not  in  all  cases  dates  of  rank,  but  only  the 
periods  they  belonged  to  the  battalion;  for  date  of  rank  arid  continuity  of 
service  see  alphabetical  list. 

It  will  be  observed  that  in  many  cases  the  successive  order  is  somewhat 
irregular,  which  is  owing  to  many  causes,  viz:  absence  of  complete  records; 
the  several  rearrangements  made  by  law:  by  the  authority  of  the  com 
manding  generals  of  the  different  departments,  and  by  the  appointment  or 
promotion  in  the  place  of  those  absent  on  detached  duty,  sick,  prisoners 
of  war,  &c.,  and  who  on  return  of  such  absence  were  returned  to  their 
former  or  assigned  to  other  regiments. 

In  addition  to  the  list  of  regiments  or  battalions  herewith  there  were 
others  belonging  to  the  Continental  Line— the  Pulaski  Legion,  Lee's 
battalion  of  Light  Dragoons,  Armand's  Partisan  Corps,  Corps  of  Engineers, 
Sappers  and  Miners,  and  Rangers,  but  only  few  rolls  or  lists  of  these  are  on 
file,  not  sufficient  to  make  an  approximately  correct  roster  of  field  officers, 
hence  they  are  omitted;  such  names,  however,  as  were  found  of  these 
organizations  appear  in  the  alphabetical  list.

At  request,  General  Washington 
attended  Congress,  26th  August,  1783,

follows:  "  Sir,  Congress  feel  particu 
lar  pleasure  in  seeing  yourExcellency, 
and  in  congratulating  you  on  the  suc 
cess  of  a  war,  in  which  you  have  acted 
so  conspicuous  a  part.  It  has  been  the 
singular  happiness  of  the  United 
States,  that  during  a  war  so  long,  so 
dangerous  and  so  important,  Provi 
dence  has  been  graciously  pleased  to 
preserve  the  life  of  a  General,  who 
has  merited  and  possessed  the  unin 
terrupted  confidence  arid  affection  of 
his  fellow-citizens.  In  other  nations, 
many  have  performed  services,  for 
which  they  have*  deserved  and  re 
ceived  the  thanks  of  the  public.  But 
to  you,  sir,  peculiar  praise  is  due. 
Your  services  have  been  essential  in 
acquiring  and  establishing  the  free 
dom  and  independence  of  your  coun 
try.  They  deserve  the  grateful 
acknowledgments  of  a  free  arid  inde 
pendent  nation.  Those  acknowledg 
ments,  Congress  have  the  satisfaction 
of  expressing  to  your  Excellency. 
Hostilities  have  now  ceased,  but  your 
country  still  needs  your  services.  She 
wishes  to  avail  herself  of  your  talents 
in  forming  the  arrangements  which 
will  be  necessary  for  her  in  time  of 
peace.  For  this  reason  your  attend 
ance  at  Congress  has  been  requested. 
A  committee  is  appointed  to  confer 
with  your  Excellency,  and  to  receive 
your  assistance  in  preparing  arid  di 
gesting  plans  relative  to  those  im 
portant  objects." 

To  which  His  Excellency  made  the 
following  reply  : 

"Mr.  President:  I  am  too  sensible 
of  the  honorable  reception  I  have  now 
experienced,  not  to  be  penetrated 
with  the  deepest  feelings  of  gratitude. 
Notwithstanding  Congress  appear  to 
estimate  the  value  of  my  life  beyond 
any  services  I  have  been  able  to 
render  the  United  States,  yet  I  must 
be  permitted  to  consider  the  wisdom 
and  unanimity  of  our  national  coun 
cils,  the  firmness  of  our  citizens  arid 
the  patience  and  bravery  of  our 
troops,  Avhich  have  produced  so 
happy  a  termination  of  the  war,  as 
the  most  conspicuous  effect  of  the 
Divine  interposition,  and  the  surest 
presage  of  our  future  happiness. 


Washington. 

Highly  gratified  by  the  favorable  sen 
timents  which  Congress  are  pleased 
to  express  of  my  past  conduct,  and 
amply  rewarded  by  the  confidence 
and  affection  of  mV  fellow-citizens, 
I  cannot  hesitate  to  contribute  my 
best  endeavors  towards  the  establish 
ment  of  the  national  security  in  what 
ever  manner  the  sovereign  power  may 
think  proper  to  direct, until  the  ratifi 
cation  of  the  definitive  treaty  of 
peace,  or  the  final  evacuation  of  our 
country  by  the  British  forces;  after 
either  of  which  events,  I  shall  ask 
permission  to  retire  to  the  peaceful 
shade  of  private  life.  Perhaps,  sir, 
no  occasion  may  offer  more  suitable 
than  the  present  to  express  my  hum 
ble  thanks  to  God,  and  acknowledg 
ments  to  my  country,  for  the  great 
and  uniform  support  I  have  received 
in  every  vicissitude  of  fortune,  and 
for  the  many  distinguished  honors 
which  Congress  have  been  pleased  to 
confer  upon  me  in  the  course  of  the 
war.11 

In  Congress,  December,  23,  1783. 

According  to  order,  His  Excellency, 
the  Commander-in-Chief,  was  admit 
ted  to  a  public  audience,  and  being 
seated,  the  President,  after  a  pause, 
informed  him  that  the  United  States, 
in  Congress  assembled,  were  prepared 
to  receive  his  communications;  where 
upon  he  arose  arid  addressed  them  as 
follows  : 

"Mr.  President :  The  great  events 
on  which  my  resignation  depended 
having  at  length  taken  place,  I  have 
now  the  honor  of  offering  my  sincere 
congratulations  to  Congress,  arid  cf 
presenting  myself  before  them  to  sur 
render  into  their  hands  the  trust 
committed  to  me,  and  to  claim  the  in 
dulgence  of  retiring  from  the  service 
of  my  country. 

"Happy  in  the  confirmation  of  our 
independence  and  sovereignty,  and 
pleased  with  the  opportunity  afforded 
the  United  States  of  becoming  a  re 
spectable  nation,  I  resign  with  satis 
faction  the  appointment  I  accepted 
with  diffidence  in  my  abilities  to  ac 
complish  so  arduous  a  task  ;  which, 
however,  was  superseded  by  a  confi 
dence  in  the  rectitude  of  our  cause, 
the  support  of  the  supreme  power  of 
the  Union  and  the  patronage  of 
Heaven. 

"The  successful  termination  of  the 
war  has  verified  the  most  sanguine 
expectations ;  and  my  gratitude  for 
the  interposition  of  Providence  and 
the  assistance  I  have  received  from 
my  countrymen,  increases  with  every 
.review  of  the  momentous  contest. 


421  Washington. 


"While  I  repeat  my  obligations  to 
the  army  in  general,  I  should  do  in 
justice  to  my  feelings  not  to  acknowl 
edge  in  this  place  the  peculiar  ser 
vices  and  distinguished  merits  of  the 
gentlemen  who  have  been  attached  to 
my  person  during  the  war.  It  was 
impossible  the  choice  of  confidential 
officers  to  compose  my  family  should 
have  been  more  fortunate.  Permit 
me,  sir,  to  recommend  in  particular 
those  who  have  continued  in  the  ser 
vice  to  the  present  moment  as  worthy 
of  the  favorable  notice  and  patronage 
of  Congress. 

"I  consider  it  an  indispensable  duty 
to  close  this  last  act  of  my  official  life 
by  commending  the  interests  of  our 
dearest  country  to  the  protection  of 
Almighty  God,  and  those  who  have 
the  superintendence  of  them  to  His 
holy  keeping. 

"Having  now  finished  the  work  as 
signed  me  I  retire  from  the  great  thea 
tre  of  action,  and  bidding  an  affec 
tionate  farewell  to  this  august  body, 
under  whose  orders  I  have  so  long 
acted,  I  here  offer  my  commission  and 
take  my  leave  of  all  the  employments 
of  public  life.1' 

He  then  advanced  and  delivered  to 
the  President  his  commission,  with  a 
c  )py  of  his  address,  and,  having  re 
sumed  his  place,  the  President  re 
turned  him  the  following  answer  : 

"Sir:  The  United  States  in  Con 
gress  assembled,  receive  with  emo 
tions,  too  affecting  for  utterance,  the 
solemn  resignation  of  the  authorities 
under  which  you  have  led  their 
troops  with  success  through  a  per 
ilous  and  a  doubtful  war.  Called 
upon  by  your  country  to  defend  its 
invaded  rights,  you  accepted  the 
sacred  charge  before  it  had  formed 
alliances  and  whilst  it  was  without 
funds  or  a  government  to  support 
you.  You  have  conducted  the  great 
military  contest  with  wisdom  and 
fortitude,  invariably  regarding  the 
rights  of  the  civil  power  through  all 
disasters  and  changes.  You  have,  by 
the  love  and  confidence  of  your  fel 
low-citizens,  enabled  them  to  display 
their  martial  genius,  and  transmit 
their  fame  to  posterity.  You  have 
persevered  till  these  United  States, 
aided  by  a  magnanimous  king  and 
nation,  have  been  enabled,  under  a 
just  Providence,  to  close  the  war  in 
freedom,  safety  and  independence;  on 
which  happy  event  we  sincerely  join 
you  in  congratulations. 

Having  defended  the  standard  of 
liberty  in  this  new  world ;  having 
taught  a  lesson  useful  to  those  who

inflict  and  to  those  who  feel  oppres 
sion,  you  retire  from  the  great  theatre 
of  action,  with  the  blessings  of  your 
fellow-citizens,  but  the  glory  of  your 
virtues  will  not  terminate  with  your 
military  command,  it  will  continue  to 
animate  remotest  ages. 

ki  We  feel  with  you  our  obligations 
to  the  army  in  general,  and  will  par 
ticularly  charge  ourselves  with  the 
interests  of  those  confidential  officers 
who  have  attended  your  person  to 
this  affecting  moment. 

"  We  join  you  in  commending  the 
interests  of  our  dearest  country  to 
the  protection  of  Almighty  God,  be 
seeching  Him  to  dispose  the  hearts 
and  minds  of  its  citizens,  to  improve 
the  opportunity  afforded  them,  of 
becoming  a  happy  and  respectable 
nation.  And  for  you,  we  address  to 
Him  our  earnest  prayers,  that  a  life 
so  beloved  may  be  fostered  with  all 
His  care,  and  that  your  days  may  be 
happy  as  they  have  been  illustrious, 
and  that  He  will  finally  give  you  that 
reward  which  this  world  cannot 
give.'1

THE  LAST  SOLDIER  OF  THE  REVOLUTION. 

Samuel  Downing  was  born  in  Newburyport,  Mass.,  November  31,  1761; 
died  in  Edinburgh,  Saratoga  County,  New  York,  February  19th,  1867,  aged 
105  years,  2  months,  19  days.  He  was  the  last  soldier  of  the  Revolution,  and 
received  the  last  pension  from  the  United  States  Government — one  hundred 
and  eighty  dollars  per  year.  He  enlisted  from  Antrim,  New  Hampshire,  at 
Charlestown,  New  Hampshire,  when  he  was  16  years  old,  and  served  in  the 
Second  New  Hampshire  Regiment.  His  one  hundreth  birthday  was  cele 
brated  by  his  neighbors  and  friends  upon  his  farm  at  Edinburgh,  by  the 
firing  of  one  hundred  guns,  and  an  address  by  George  S.  Batcheller,  Esq.,  of 
Saratoga.  On  this  occasion  Mr.  Downing  cut  down  a  hemlock  tree  five  feet 
in  circumference,  and,  later  in  the  day,  a  wild  cherry  tree  near  his  house  of 
half  the  size.  The  trees  were  sold  upon  the  ground,  and  stripped  of  their 
branches  by  those  present  for  canes  and  other  mementos  of  the  occasion. 
The  stump  of  the  larger  one  was  sawed  off  and  carried  to  Saratoga  by  Robert 
Bevins,  of  that  place.

By  the  United    States  in    Congress  Assembled, 

A    PROCLAMATION! 


Whereas,  in  the  progress  of  ari  arduous  and  difficult  war,  the  armies  of 
the  United  States  of  America  have  eminently  displayed  every  military  and 
patriotic  virtue,  and  are  not  less  to  be  applauded  for  their  fortitude  arid  mag 
nanimity  in  the  most  trying  scenes  of  distress  than  for  a  series  of  heroic  and 
illustrious  achievements,  which  exalt  them  to  a  high  rank  among  the  most 
zealous  and  successful  defenders  of  the  rights  and  liberties  of  mankind  :  And, 
whereas,  by  the  blessing  of  Divine  Providence  on  our  cause  and  our  arms,  the 
glorious  period  is  arrived  when  our  national  independence  and  sovereignty 
are  established,  and  we  enjoy  the  prospect  of  a  permanent  and  honorable 
peace  ;  we,  therefore,  the  United  States,  in  Congress  assembled,  thus  im 
pressed  with  a  lively  sense  of  the  distinguished  merit  and  good  conduct  of 
the  said  armies,  do  give  them  the  thanks  of  their  country  for  their  long,  emi 
nent  and  faithful  services.  And  it  is  our  will  and  pleasure  that  such  part  of 
the  federal  armies  as  stands  engaged  to  serve  during  the  war,  and  as  by  our 
acts  of  the  26th  day  of  May,  the  llth  day  of  June,  the  9th  day  of  August  and 
the  26th  day  of  September  last  were  furloughed,  shall,  from  and  after  the  3d 
day  of  November  next,  be  absolutely  discharged,  by  virtue  of  this  our  proc 
lamation  from  the  said  service,  and  we  do  declare  that  the  further  services 
in  the  field  of  the  officers  who  are  deranged  and  on  furlough  in  consequence 
of  our  aforesaid  acts  can  now  be  dispensed  with,  and  they  have  our  full  per 
mission  to  retire  from  service,  without  being  longer  liable  from  their  present 
engagements  to  be  called  into  command.  Arid  of  such  discharge  and  per 
mission  to  retire  from  service  respectively  all  our  officers,  civil  and  military, 
and  all  others  whom  it  may  concern,  are  required  to  take  notice  and  to  gov 
ern  themselves  accordingly. 

Given  under  the  seal  of  the  United  States,  in  Congress  assembled,  wit 
ness  His  Excellency,  ELIAS  BOUDIXOT,  our  President  in  Congress,  this  18th 
day  of  October,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord  1783,  and  of  the  sovereignty  and 
independence  of  the  United  States  of  America  the  eighth.

LIST  OF  FRENCH  OFFICERS 


THAT   SERVED     WITH    THE 


AMERICAN   ARMY. 


I  am  indebted  to  the  Pennsylvania  Historical  Society  for  this  list,  who 
kindly  permitted  me  to  make  certain  extracts  from  the  original,  which  is  in 
French,  not  arranged  as  here,  as  it  was  deemed  best  to  follow  the  alpha 
betical  style  of  the  book,  and  also  omitted  other  irrevelant  matter,  follow 
ing,  however,  as  near  the  original  in  the  personal  history  of  each  officer  as 
possible.  The  original  manuscript  was  obtained  for  Mr.  William  B.  Reed 
(who  presented  the  same  to  the  Pennsylvania  Historical  Society)  by  the 
Honorable  Richard  Rush,  while  Minister  at  Paris,  and  was  accompanied  by 
the  following  note  : 


JUNE,  25th,  1849. 

SIR  :  To  comply  with  the  wish  you  expressed  in  the  note,  which  was 
delivered  to  me  by  Mr.  Perkins,  I  hastened  to  search,  according  to  the  very 
expressions  of  that  note,  for  the  names  of  the  French  officers  who  served  in 
the  Revolutionary  War  of  the  United  States  of  America.  It  was  in  vain, 
unfortunately,  that  I  searched  for  the  muster-rolls  at  the  Ministere  de  la 
Marine,  or  at  the  Depot,  and  in  the  Archives  de  la  Guerre,  looking  through 
a  great  number  of  volumes  and  boxes.  Appreciating,  however,  the  high 
feeling  that  inspired  the  request,  I  was  not  willing  to  be  conquered  by 
difficulties,  and  thought  that  with  time  and  perseverance  it  would  be 
possible  to  supply  the  absence  of  the  muster-rolls.  The  papers,  which  I 
have  the  honor  to  address  you,  will  explain  to  you  how  I  proceeded  to  attain 
that  end.  Taking  the  names  of  some  officers  well  known  as  having  con 
tributed  to  the  liberty  of  the  United  States,  I  conceived  that  I  could  find  in 
their  Etats  de  Services  the  different  actions  in  which  our  troops  had 
distinguished  themselves,  and  thus  know  the  time  when  the  notes  for  the 
rewards  to  be  conferred  on  those  who  had  deserved  well  of  the  two 
countries  had  been  prepared  in  the  Ministers1  offices.  This  partly  succeeded 
and  brought  me  afterwards  to  look  for  the  muster-roils  of  the  corps  to 
which  belonged  the  officers  who  had  signalized  themselves  ;  but  though  I 
have  added  many  names  to  my  lists  from  that  source,  I  cannot  say  that  they 


484 

are  complete,  for  I  could  not  conclude  from  the  muster-rolls  themselves  that 
all  the  officers  belonging-  to  the  corps  had  been  present  in  America.  The 
regiments  not  having  sent  very  often  more  than  a  detachment,  and  the 
detachments  sometimes  having  served  only  on  shipboard,  I  could  not 
designate  an  officer  as  having  served  in  the  American  War,  unless  the  fact 
had  been  indicated  in  some  note  concerning  that  time,  and  so  I  was  obliged 
to  confine  myself  to  inscribing  the  names  of  the  officers  whom  I  could 
positively  ascertain  to  have  been  engaged  in  the  war. 

I  hope,  sir,  these  lists,  however  incomplete,  will  not  be  without  interest 
for  the  history  of  the  two  countries,  nor  do  I  regret  the  three  weeks 
I  have  given  to  collecting  them,  though  I  may  have  been  fatigued  at 
moments  by  the  dryriess  of  the  task.  I  beg  you,  sir,  to  observe,  that  if  I 
have  not  found  the  whole  as  you  desired,  I  have  succeeded  at  least  in 
that  which  was  most  important,  having  recovered  from  oblivion  the  names 
of  all  those  whom  their  good  behavior,  their  talents,  and  courage  had 
rendered  most  conspicuous.  On  the  other  side,  as  a  mere  name  is  not  signifi 
cant  enough  and  does  not  sufficiently  particularize  a  family  and  a  man,  you 
will  be  pleased,  no  doubt,  to  find  that  to  each  officer's  name  I  have  added 
the  date  and  the  place  of  his  birth,  and  some  other  details  contained  in  the 
rolls.  This  I  know  was  not  in  the  directions  given  me,  but  being  occupied 
with  historical  works  myself  I  thought  it  would  be  agreeable  to  the  historian 
to  whom  these  notes  are  destined,  nor  will  I  neglect  to  apprise  him  that  in 
the  course  of  my  researches  I  have  found  some  documents  concerning  the 
Independence  War,  which  I  have  not  seen  quoted  elsewhere.  I  have  the 
honor  to  be,  sir,  yours,  most  respectfully,

NUMBER  OF  TROOPS  FURNISHED 

DURIXG-  THE 

WAR  OF  THE  REVOLUTION 

TIHIE 


The  exact  number  of  men  in  the  Continental  Establishment,  furnished 
by  each  State  in  the  War  of  the  Revolution,  is  not  known,  but  an  approxi 
mate  estimate  made  by  Colonel  Pierce,  Paymaster-General  of  the  Continen 
tal  Army,  and  the  Treasury  Accountants,  in  1787,  is  as  shown  in  the  first 
column  of  this  table.  In  addition,  however,  all  the  States  furnished 
regiments  or  independent  battalions  or  companies  of  State  Troops,  Militia, 
Rangers,  Riflemen,  &c.,  for  brief  services,  who  were  called  out  to  assist  the 
Continental  Army  in  emergencies,  or  were  raised  to  protect  and  defend 
their  own  States,  many  of  whom  were  in  service  at  two  or  more  different 
periods.  The  exact  number  thus  furnished  can  not  be  given,  but  upon 
examination  of  various  estimates,  I  believe  the  figures  shown  in  the  second 
column  of  the  table  to  be,  in  round  figures,  approximately  correct :

The  total  here  given  is  excessive  as  to  the  number  that  served  in  the 
army,  for  many  served  two,  three  and  even  four  terms.  Many  of  the  men 
who  entered  the  service  in  1775,  re-entered  in  1776,  again  in  1777,  and  again 
in  1780,  and  were  therefore  counted  two,  three,  or  four  times,  and  from  the 
best  information  attainable  it  is  fair  to  assume  that  the  number  of  indi 
viduals  actually  engaged  in  the  military  service  during  the  war  did  not 
exceed  250,000.

ested  in  the  Army,  past  or  present,  can  afford  to  be  without. 

CHARACTER  AND  PRICE. 

The  book  contains  900  large  octavo  pages.  So  compactly  is  the  matter  arranged  and  con 
densed  that  it  really  contains  fully  three  times  as  much  as  the  usual  book  of  that  kind  and 
size.  It  is  printed  on  heavy  white  paper  —  well  fitting  it  for  long  and  hard  usage  as  a  book  of 
reference—  and  is  strongly  bound  in  law  sheep.  It  will  be  sent  to  any  address  in  the  United 
States,  postpaid,  on  receipt  of  $8.
